What an awesome idea.

Interesting thing to say, considering your taste just a few years ago.

Yeah, I like this approach. It's like one website (don't remember which) one year just had the writer's father listen to each album and took his opinions.

My blurb would have been better if I'd let my father do it.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who had trouble writing a blurb. I had no idea what I was doing, and nowhere near enough time to appreciate an album I had a hard time assimilating. But if I'm not alone, I'm sure it will make for an interesting list, and some interesting discussion/flames afterwards.

if we want some of this, we may want to reveal the blurbs Listmania-style with one a day or something

if they all come out at once, all the comments and attention gets scattered

good idea, but do you really want this to drag on longer?

maybe we could do 3 or so a day though

Well, for mine, he asked me if I'd heard it (which I hadn't) and then hooked me up with a YSI. I listened to it once, and then wrote the blurb during the second listen.

It's possible that this might not work overall, but it's nice to try something different.


I told him I had heard it but I thought it was overrated. I've been listening to it again, and I still think it's overrated... but my sycophant, people-pleaser self has slipped in and I want to "do it justice." Damn justice, always gets in the way.

I guess I should finish it.

I'm the only one who knows the order.

Which, incidentally, I'm posting on February 1 if we haven't gotten the blurbs by then.
